Red Aspen leaves in Colorado

I pondered featuring this reader photo a couple weeks ago, but ended up with a different choice. Today, though, the sparkling vermilion of these aspen leaves, now blanketing forest floors across the West, brought me a bright remembrance of Colorado’s  autumn moments, which I wanted to share with you.

Across most of the West it’s starting to feel like winter. I don’t mind holding on to fall a little bit longer, though.

Share your photos (or just enjoy looking at others’) on HCN’s Flickr pool; we pick one a week to feature on our Grange blog.
